Brittas Bay

We took a drive down to Brittas Bay last Bank Holiday Monday. It was a grey day, but we got no rain for our walk. It was a long time since either of us had been to Brittas, which is a gorgeous beach on a good day, but was just dull and windy last week. We enjoyed the brisk walk all the same. There really isn't much to talk about - it's a big long beach behind the dunes. The waves were not dramatic.

There is no parking on the road - it's too narrow. And the council have a pay car park - it's €2 to get in, I assume for as long as you want, as you pay on the way in. We were more or less the only ones in the car park - there were a few cars parked just outside - typically Irish! And I'm glad the car wasn't vandalised or broken into while we were walking. It's that kind of a place when it's not busy!

The website above could be good if the pages were updated. I found a lot of dead links, and, despite my extreme patience, the pictures never loaded! You'll find a few more pictures on Wikipedia.
